We’ll only sign the ‘right player’, says Arsene Wenger

Manager Arsene Wenger maintains Arsenal will only move in the January transfer window for the right player.

The Gunners are widely expected to strengthen this month, having already started to free-up space in the squad by off-loading Moroccan striker Marouane Chamakh on a six-month loan deal to West Ham and Swiss defender Johan Djourou to Hannover.

While Wenger has been linked with a string of reinforcements from Barcelona forward David Villa, Atletico Madrid frontman Adrian Lopez, Anderlecht’s Argentina midfielder Lucas Biglia, Yann M’Vila from Rennes and even former captain Thierry Henry on loan again, the Arsenal manager maintains he will only be tempted should a player of the required quality become available.

“We are on the market and if we find the right players, we will do something”, Wenger told Arsenal Player.
